Counsellor – ADHD-Informed Intervention

Full-Time
Location: Singapore

Overview

Unlocking ADHD is a non-profit organisation committed to empowering individuals with ADHD and their families through advocacy, education, and support. We are seeking a passionate counsellor to deliver ADHD-informed therapeutic support and co-develop structured counselling workflows within our case management system.

This role blends frontline counselling with behind-the-scenes program design, making it ideal for someone who is both clinically grounded and process-oriented.

Key Responsibilities

1. ADHD-Informed Counselling & Case Management

• Provide individual, family, and group counselling using ADHD-informed approaches tailored to the unique needs of neurodivergent clients.
• Manage caseloads, conduct needs assessments, and make appropriate referrals to relevant community or school-based resources.
• Deliver psychoeducation to caregivers and families on ADHD-specific support strategies, executive functioning, and emotional regulation.
• Support clients through helplines, drop-ins, or scheduled appointments, providing brief interventions or longer-term support as needed.
• Maintain accurate and timely case documentation, using an ADHD-sensitive lens in progress tracking and goal setting.

2. Workflow & System Development

• Collaborate with the Senior Counsellor to develop SOPs, counselling workflows, and documentation protocols within the organisation’s case management system, Plato.
• Contribute to the design and refinement of ADHD-informed intake, assessment, and intervention procedures.
• Assist in monitoring programme delivery and clinical processes to ensure fidelity and continuous improvement.

3. Professional Development & Knowledge Sharing

• Attend clinical supervision sessions, training, and engage in reflective practice to deepen competence in ADHD-specific counselling.
• Contribute to team learning by sharing clinical insights, research findings, and relevant case studies.
• Stay updated on developments in neurodiversity-affirming therapeutic models and emerging best practices.

4. Programme Design & Facilitation

• Assist in planning and facilitating ADHD-focused workshops, support groups, or psychoeducational sessions for youths, caregivers, or educators.
• Support programme evaluation and feedback collection to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of interventions.
• Participate in outreach and awareness initiatives to promote early intervention and reduce stigma around ADHD.

Requirements

• Minimum Master’s Degree in Counselling, Counselling Psychology, or a related field.
• Must be a Clinical Member or Provisional Clinical Member of the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC).
• 2 years of counselling experience (experience working with ADHD, neurodivergent, or special needs clients preferred).
• Excellent case conceptualisation and care planning abilities.
• Familiar with digital tools and platforms, particularly case management systems.
• Committed to supporting children, youths, and families within a strengths-based, systemic framework.
• Collaborative, self-motivated, and eager to contribute to an evolving organisation.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing counselling SOPs, clinical workflows, or programme documentation.
• Group facilitation experience (e.g. parent training, support groups).
• Prior involvement in community mental health, education, or family support services.

• Experience in working with parents or being a parent of a neurodivergent child would be ideal
